GayCo Productions' Annual Open Bar Party OVER THE RAINBOW Returns

By:

Follow the yellow brick road and join GayCo Productions at their annual fundraiser! On Friday, May 12th, GayCo will have a 3 hour all-you-can-drink special on domestic beer, well cocktails, sangria, and house wine at the Waterhouse Tavern & Grill (3407 N. Paulina, Chicago) from 8pm-11pm. Strap on your Ruby Slippers and join the members of GayCo for a fun and festive evening that benefits their 2017 season!

To purchase a wristband for the 3-hour unlimited drink special in advance, donate $20 (or more) to GayCo at https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/110145 by May 8th and your wristband will be reserved at the event. Wristbands will be available for purchase at the door for $25 that night.

There will be a Wizard of Oz themed costume contest and raffle tickets available for purchase. Raffle prizes include restaurant, spa, and chiropractic gift certificates, wine baskets, tickets to Second City and iO Chicago, and VIP tickets to the Late Show with Stephen Colbert! Plus, there will be a 50/50 cash raffle as well. Raffle tickets will be sold at the event until 10:00pm.

GayCo is raising funds for its 2017 calendar, which includes a June improv series "Gaywatch," digital content, and a brand new holiday show "Tis the Seasonal Depression."

GayCo is a 501c(3) organization that generates original sketch, improv and digital content where gay is always the given, never the punchline. Founded as part of The Second City's outreach arm in 1996, GayCo has performed across America and around the world, something it intends to do for many years to come.
